      This is called motion graphics, find tutorials on that, and practice. This style of motion graphics is very common nowadays, so you'll most likely bump into tutorials on that.

    Hi - I've studied and taught typography for years as part of IT programmes. And I have to say that his video is a little gem - you've captured all the basics of the subject, and more, in a nutshell with very engaging graphics. Well done - and thank you very much!

    I have been aggressively binge-watching your videos just now! I just watched The Basics of Design, Color and Typography and I'm SYKED.
    You explain the basics and certainly fill up pretty important holes in my knowledge in them and make me more aware of what I've been already doing by intuition. Now I'll know how to approach a problem or intently make a design more interesting when I have no specific idea!
    I've decided to try blogging and some other projects for which I'll need to up my game in graphic design and illustration. I've just found the perfect starter pack, basics that _expand_ to teach us useful concepts and practical tipps!
    Thank you!

      I still feel like schools for Graphic Design learners are a HUGE ripoff. On top of being so expensive, you can get professors that either doesn't put their effort in teaching or makes things so complicated. Better off doing research on it instead.

    I'm currently training as a visual story artist, so I normally utilize lighting, colors, shape language, and perspective to create concepts, designs, and storyboards. I find it so interesting that typography exists as an art form dedicated to texts and lines that utilize color and shape language (lots of overlapping fundamentals) to create an emotional response from people. It's awesome to see how the fundamentals of color and design are used in a completely different way that it makes me feel like a total beginner again! Gotta love art! 😁

    I've seen two videos so far, colour theory and this and loving them so far. It's not only aesthetic but the information is clear and easy to understand (the visuals really help!)
    I'm not a designer but would like to learn the basics and these videos seem like a great place to get started
    I was trying to find books to look at next but I haven't found one with all these different topics (they're specifically only typography, or only layout etc.) and with good aesthetics too

    I just wanted to say that you have a very soothing and pleasant way to speak and I love your videos!

I never knew graphic design could be so interesting if it weren't for your videos and I feel like I could enjoy my three years of graphic design at college thanks to you!
